What could you do to make an electric space heater less than 38%

Give it to a student.

apparently the EU's method is to accept electric heating is 100%
efficient, then divide by a "conversion co-efficient" of 2.5 then add
and remove various fiddle factors

but 100% / 2.5 gives a starting point of 40%, so saying it must
achieve 38% or higher is hardly onerous, it just means it can't have
more than a 2% parasitic load ...


Isn't that 'climate science' ?

I thnk it is more 'Abbottonomics'
